Look, if you don’t want to address what people are actually saying so you can throw out your retarded little strawmen, you go right ahead. But I would think someone with your supposed academic background might be above that sort of intellectually dishonest nonsense.

You said, and I quote, “If Mahay and Soria aren’t in the pen, we lose this game. No question.” Which was a patently absurd statement on virtually every level; for it to have been TRUE, Ramon Ramirez would have to have an ERA of over 27.00. Do you not get that? By asserting that Soria was required in order for us to win that game, you’re not only utterly ignoring basic probability, but you’re being an offensive and insulting ass toward Ramon Ramirez by insinuating he’s not man enough to hold onto a three-run lead.

Do you get it yet, Tim? You’re so wound up with your obsession for Soria as a closer that it hasn’t even occurred to you that I’m not even arguing with you about whether Soria should be starting! I never even addressed that issue other than to call you out for saying something utterly insane while trying to sell it!

And then you compound your stupidity by asking me if I seriously think Ramirez is better than Soria, when I never even hinted at that?

You know, there’s one thing I’ve learned in my decades on this planet. When someone starts becoming completely irrational about anything having to do with their pet argument, it generally means their argument is crap and they know it. So keep being loony about this, and pretty soon YOU’LL have everyone convinced Soria should start.
